Trump just canceled a promising bird flu vaccine from Moderna. RFK Jr. wants to shelter infected ostriches. At this point, it feels like they’re actively helping bird flu spread. If nothing changes, we might not survive this Trump term—and that’s not hyperbole.

👀

Damn... why did I think he was not going to get worse than he already is? I should have realized that now that he has determined who will be writing his paychecks going forward, spreading right-wing conspiracy theories is going to pretty much be his bread and butter from now on. Such a waste.

Well, okay then grandpa… Time for your meds and your nap.

'Fewer international tourists are visiting the U.S. — economic losses could be 'staggering,' researchers estimate.' Thanks to the Orange! www.cnbc.com/2025/05/28/t...

This! All day long!

"'If they attempt to deport the Afghans, you’re going to see actual physical conflict between U.S. veterans and ICE,' he predicted..." www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Construction workers. Right before hurricane season.

Several journalists asking, Hey Jake Tapper, why ya not asking what’s up with Dementia Donnie?” Hypocrite!! www.rawstory.com/trump-declin...

I agree!!

$9.5 billion of biomedical research support, 2,100 grants, have already been terminated at NIH www.statnews.com/2025/05/27/n...

As of today, Elon Musk is thought to be responsible for the death of 300,000 adults and kids due to the illegal closure of USAID (source: www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...) That's a 103 deaths per hour, each day. And it will get worse. His legacy is one of death, destruction, and failure.

Have you read this yet? Please read and share! Thank you!

Elon's legacy ranges from gutting cancer research to setting in motion millions of deaths from starvation or disease. I'll be pushing for Congress to hold Elon & DOGE accountable—for every act of corruption, every disastrous consequence, and every law they have broken.

This administration was already a joke in countless ways. But the USCIT’s decision striking down Trump’s tariffs could not make him look more hapless.

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

🤨⚖️

Uh oh

Washington DC Friday, June 6 Unite For Veterans Rally

Oh there goes his ratings

@alanbeattie.bsky.social on why the court tariffs ruling should inspire America's trading partners to defy Trump on.ft.com/43CBv1R

this is where I want to be💙

Beyond parody.

Yup.

This should be seen as evidence of the crisis: federal judges fear that Trump will order U.S. Marshals to stand down on securing the safety of judges whose decision they don’t like. This is just devastating. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Useful breakdown of the GOP bill. I would ask everyone Republican a few easy questions: 1.) How does this budget reflect your personal values? 2.) Why do your constituents (your employers!) encouraging you to support it? 3.) How does it ensure the best future for our children and grandchildren?

"When your sense of self-exaltation requires tanks, flyovers and up to $45 million for a birthday party, we’re no longer in the realm of cake and candles — we’re squarely in Criterion 1 of narcissistic personality disorder: 'a grandiose sense of self-importance.'”

#GVerse #Attention: This is insane; In a bizarre moment, the President of the United States suggests he can tell the drug companies "we're just not gonna let you sell any more cars into the US… any more wine or liquor or alcohol." He is cognitively not there. 👀🤔 WTAF???

Watching Project 2025 unfolding before us, it’s hard to think this is a problem of not enough information. So many Cassandras have been crying out for two years the dangers we are now seeing, only to be ignored. How many have to feel direct pain for enough to care? I’m afraid we may find out soon.

Trump in 2024: we are going to deport illegal immigrants, who committed crimes, to their home country Trump in early 2025: we are sending legal immigrants, with no criminal record, to random foreign gulags Trump in midway through 2025: we are going to deport legal visitors studying at Harvard

Imagine how we would view this if it was happening in another country

I realize that as a retired professor I have a responsibility to say more on this than I have. International students are essential to the fiscal bottom line of almost every university. This is an unambiguous attempt to destroy Harvard—permanently. And he won’t stop with Harvard. This is madness.

There's a lotta concern about the short run (ie recession or not) implications of Trump's agenda. Dani is right to point to the long run as far far more consequential.

She's the one.
